I guess everything would make it through the overflow eventually though , so not sure if that would really be a concern or not.

I personally wouldn't leave it on continuous flow if it is mounted under the overflow weir. Although, as you said, I suspect eventually stuff will make its way down the weir one way or another. It (food and deteitus) might take a little longer to get down as it would have to travel around the Gyre's flow pattern. I would use it to send a periodic surge (if mounted under the weir).
